are you trying to put a bitmap with alpha that you just made in a map?

just make an alpha and a bitmap diffrent files
then in DXTBmp you can insert an alpha in a regular file and save it as a DDS file

Or do it the easy way, with Photoshop, as the thread creator asked.

In the layers window, there is a channels tab. Flip over to it an there may be an alpha channel. If so, edit it. If not, just click the Create New Channel button.

wat i did was open up the exsisting texture and layer it from the bg then change the layer opacity and try to save it but it says "too many channels to export (5)"
